Why Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation is my FAVORITE

I'm so stinkin' excited today because my favorite makeup (the Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation) is available right now and it comes with free gifts! 

I'm ordering at Macy's RIGHT NOW, but I just wanted to take a second to tell you how much I love this stuff and why I'm willing to drop a little more to get it.

I mean, you know I'm a frugal girl. 🙂 

But.

I have really awful skin.

We're talking, very acne prone, very oily, really uneven awful skin.

Worst of all, my skin literally soaks up any type of makeup. When I've tried any other foundation (and trust me, I've tried it all!), in about 7 minutes everything else is sucked right up and you can't tell I have any amount of foundation coverage at all.

But way back when I was in my late 20s someone recommended Estee Lauder Double Wear, and after a few days testing it out I was totally convinced.

I've  now been wearing Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation for 15 years (seriously, I just did the math!), and it's hands down the most essential part of my makeup routine.

As a penny pincher of course, it's always been hard on my budget (especially in those early days when I had so little moo-lah to spend!) So you know I had to figure out a deal. 🙂 

Once every few months, Macy's and Estee Lauder offer a free gift with purchase, which means I pay for my Double Wear, but get my mascara and almost everything else for free.

I love that. 

Estee Lauder Free Gift with Purchase Deal

And, sure enough right now at Macy's if you order $37.50 worth of Estee Lauder products you'll get a FREE 7-Pc Gift worth $165 too. (Yay!)

Both gift choices will include the Exclusive Quentin Jones x Estée Lauder Bag, but from there you can pick from two gift sets:

CHOICE 1 (Lift Your Look):

• Resilience Lift Firming/Sculpting Creme SPF 15
• Perfectionist Pro Rapid Firm + Lift Treatment
• Resilience Lift Firming/Sculpting Eye Creme
• Double Wear Eye Pencil – Coffee
• Pure Color Envy Hi-Lustre Lipstick – Sweet Sinner (Full Size)
• Pure Color Envy EyeShadow Quad – Currant Desire #1, #2 and #5, Cheeky Pink #18

CHOICE 2 (Wake Up Beautiful):

• Advanced Night Repair Face Serum
• Advanced Night Cleansing Foam
• NEW Advanced Night Repair Eye Supercharged Complex
• Pure Color Envy Gloss – Fiery Almond
• Bronze Goddess Powder Bronzer – Medium
• Pure Color Envy Lash Multi Effects Mascara

I'm actually ordering mine right now (I wear Fresco), and will be picking the “Lift Your Look” option this time (I want the eye pencil – I don't have one!) 🙂 

Your gift will be automatically added to your cart at checkout as long as you have the $37.50 minimum purchase already in your cart 🙂 (1 per customer, online only, while supplies last)

Are you a fan of KAVU bags?  I hadn't even heard of them until recently when my daughter Caroline was begging me for one.  We spent weeks checking out prices in the shops but ended up finding the VERY best deals are online!

We ordered Caroline the Pineapple Passion Kavu Bag when it was on sale – but now there are some NEW styles that have dropped in price!

These rarely EVER get marked down so low, so this is a perfect time to snag one for back to school 🙂

Here are a few other marked-down styles on Kavu Rope Bag:

• Space Pop – $30
• Swan Love – around $31
• Peony – around $33
• Green – under $32.32

Kavu Backpack

I also spotted an awesome deal on this Kavu For Keeps Backpack for under $19! (Reg $35)

And this Kavu Keepalong Bag in “Got Dots” for under $23 (Reg $35)

This would be a great little gift to stash away in the present closet 🙂

KAVU Bags have GREAT Resale Value

One of the things to keep in mind when you're spending a little more on a trendy accessory is their resale value.  KAVU bags routinely go for $20 – $40 (even if their quite used) on places like the FB Marketplace, Ebay and other online yardsale type sites.

So you don't have to worry too much if your teen stops loving the pattern they pick out today – because you'll be able to turn around and sell it and get most of your money back tomorrow!

Let us know if you're able to score a great deal!
